Priyantha is really a nice host and will make sure everything is fine. He can arrange some activities and transport as well wich I found really convenient. His wife cooked delicious breakfast and dinner with plenty of different food in big quantities ! Thanks also to Yann who took time to show me around the good spots in Polhena and Madiha ! It's far from a hotel place, it's chill, open with conviviality.

Hosts are so lovely and welcoming! They will really make your stay very special and welcome you into their family. They even invited us to attend their family party while we stayed with them. Definitely get them to cook you dinner, ask for a tour of the garden, and watch them feed the street dogs!

Priyantha is the best owner, he took care of us, every day he made us a different breakfast really big with everything! Passionfruit Homestay is magical, you can chill on the terrace, you can also see a beautiful sunset , there is also a small shop with Priyantha's wife, who is an amazing cook

“Everything that you need to stay comfortably in Madiha”
A very nice room (interior design-wise) compared to other homestays. The rooftop was very pretty, and the breakfast was amazing as is the owner. Highly recommended!

Very cool homestay, it's got a relaxing tropical vibe happening, breakfasts are the best local sri lankan food that I've eaten. Priyamtha, your host can help with many activities in the area, ext he is an absolute gem. The beach is a short walk around the corner with a few local juice bars and cafes for those looking for a genuine local experience with a warm and friendly host I recommend this guest house

“Perfect Location, Great Food & the Best Host”
It's close to the beach, the supermarkets, and town. It was perfectly centered to access everything so you can get anywhere within a short walk. And the Morning breakfast was top-notch; felt just like Home.

“It’s an ideal choice for those who want to connect with local culture, enjoy home-cooked meals, and experience the warmt”
Our recent stay at Passionfruit homestay was a really nice experience. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed like family . The room was clean and cozy, a cute balcony with jungle view. One of the highlights was the Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast homemade from our host Bianca who didn’t stop to feed us all the time. Thank you also Yan for your recommendations and your help.

“Perfect”
I spend at Passionfruit one night only but it was very pleasant! Quiet location with short walk to the beach, beach bars and few shops. Room was clean with simple aesthetic decor and own balcony where you can observe animals (few peacocks may show up if you’re lucky) Hospitality of host and his family is heartwarming ♥️ definitely worth recommending. You can ask host anything and he will help to the best of his ability. Thank you!

“Very nice host and comfortable place.”
This place was amazing, I highly recommend staying there. The host is very kind and helpful. He prepares very good breakfast (included in the price) and can also bring you around with the tuk. The place is pretty, comfortable, clean and has a very good location.

Priyanthe is an excellent host. The place on its self is very basic (no AC, no hot water), but it is clean and has everything one needs (a personal bathroom, and a simple room with fan and a comfy bed with mosquito net). He and his family prepared us an amazing breakfast, with fruits, eggs, bread, dhal and coconut rice, with fresh coconut water and tea. He was always very supportive, drove us around with his Tuk Tuk, showed us the plants he grows on his terrace and shared with us some interesting insights on the country and on his personal life and future plans. He is a dog lover and takes care of street dogs.
